RICHARD JACKSON, F WHITESVILLE, KENTUCKY.

CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 665,223, dated January 1, 1901.

Application led Tune 26, 1897. Serial No. 642,493. (No model.)

T0 all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, RICHARD JACKSON, residing at Whitesville,in the county of Daviess and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Churn-Dasher, of which the-following isa specification.

This invention relates generally to churns, and particularly to dashers therefor, the object being to provide a dasher which is simple in construction and eective in operation, the same consisting of a minimum number of parts,so that it may be manufactured and sold at a very low price.

With the above object in View the invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, particularly l pointed out in the claim, and clearly illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in whichf Figure l is a sectional View of a portion of a churn with my improved dashers in position; Fig. 2, a side elevation of the dashers in position on the handle; Fig. 3, a general view of the parts disassembled, and Fig. 4 a` sectional view through the hubs of the dashers and the lower portion of the handle.

In the drawings I have illustrated a portion of a churn-body, which is lettered A and may be constructed in any desired form and of any preferred material.l

B indicates the handle, having at its lower end a dasher C, said dasher comprising a hub portion D, having dasher-blades E extending radially therefrom and formed integral therewith. The blades E have their upper surfaces curved or inclined downwardly from the up; per to the bottom portion thereof, while the under sides of said blades are curved or inclined in an opposite direction. The hub D of the dasher is provided with an enlarged opening F on its under side and formed with an inclined or conical seat F for the passage of an inclined screw G, by means of which the dasher is rotatably secured to the lower end of the handle. By making said screw taper- Witnesses:

ing or inclined the wear of the parts may be taken up by adjusting the former and all radial movement prevented, while at the same of the handle, serve to hold said dasher from wabbling vertioallya's it rotates.

H indicates the upper dasher, which is constructed similarlylto the lower dasher,with the exception that the blades are curved in opposite directions to those of the lower dasher. This dasher H is freely movable on the handle above the lower dasher,the upward movement thereof being limited by a shoulder I, which may be formed at any suitable point on the handle. In operation,as the handle is reciprocated within the churn-body the lower dasher will be revolving in one direction While the upper dasher is turning in a reverse direction, this being accomplished by reason of the peculiar shape of the blades and the arrangement of the dashers on the handle.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-' Avchurn-dasher, comprising a handle, a tapered Yor inclined screw carried by the lower end of the handle, Ya dasher having a tapered or inclined central opening receiving said screw upon which it rotates and by which it is attached to the handle and adjusted thereon, a second dasher formed with a central opening to receive the handle upon which it rotates and reciprocates, said last-mentioned dasher being positioned upon the handle on RICHARD JACKSON.
